So, I’m a n00b. Up until now, I’ve never had a reason or believed that there was a purpose for me to start a blog. Let’s face it, who would really want to read about what some unknown yoyo has to say? A recent change in jobs has prompted me to revisit this decision and I have come up with what I think are 2 valid reasons for me to start blogging:
1. I’m responsible for Web Ops for an online travel company. As I’m sure oodles of people are well aware, there are more travel blogs around the web than you can shake a passport at. I think it is worthwhile for me to understand more about participating in blogging culture in order to transfer this experience to my current job responsibilities.
2. Again, I am responsible for Web Operations. In the last month or so, I’ve come to realize that there aren’t a lot of Web Ops specific blogs / sites / conferences around, that don’t focus primarily around programming or setting up the most kick ass Apache server (not that there’s anything wrong with that!). But I would like to see if this blog can essentially tap into a what I would think is an existing pool of people in a position similar to mine that are looking to share and promote thoughts, ideas and information about running their respective companies website operations – more from an infrastructure planning and day to day management perspective rather than hands on coder and sysadmin.
So that’s it. My first blog post on my first blog. Whew…
